I use a 0 degree Phoenix pretty much year round. Even use it set up in the basement. Don't overheat too often but when I do I just add a small gap. Not enough that the mosquitoes can get me!

Formally the Hanging Canuck!
I'm in the 20 right now and it is amazing. No CBS for me!
I ordered the 10° last night, I hope i am not hot when it's in the high 50's or low 60's.
Thanks

I think you'll be fine. I am a very warm sleeper, and I recently used my 20° UQ with lows in the upper 60's, after hiking in 90° heat all day, and I was fine.
When you think about it, you probably sleep in 70° temps every night on a mattress that's at least 10" thick. So a 3" thick piece of insulation underneath you probably isn't going to cause you to overheat. Top insulation- now that's a different story!

I agree, 10 instead of 20. Low weight penalty, easy to vent and prevents saying " I wish I had"...through chattering teeth. You can't warm yourself with what you don't have.

That's why I went with the 10°, I think I chose wisely... Now the 5 week wait begins. Also bought a pillow, had a harder time deciding which color for that than I did for the under quilt.
Thanks

You should also keep in mind that if you use a pillow for your head, you don't necessarily need additional insulation under your head in the hammock. I'm 6'1", and my 70" UQ covers my entire body (except my head). But I have a pillow, so for me, 70" is full-length.
